(Ooh ooh)

(Ooh ooh)

(Ooh ooh)

Ooh-ooh (Ooh ooh)

Debonair lullabies

In melodies revealed

In deep despair on lonely nights

He knows just how you feel

The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits

In miracles made real

The front door might slam

But the back door it rings

And Smokey sings, he sings

Elegance in eloquence

For sale or rent or hire

Should I say yes and match his best?

Then I would be a liar

Symphonies that soothe the rage

When lovers' hearts catch fire

When Smokey sings, I forget everything yeah

Smashing the hell

With the heaven she brings

Then Smokey sings, he sings

(Would it be true to say?)

Luther croons

Sly's the original originator

James screams (uh-uh)

Marvin was the only innovator

(Innovator)

But nothing can compare

Nothing can compare

(Sings)

(Ooh ooh)

(Ooh ooh)

She threw back the ring

(Ooh ooh)
